An Alan Smithee / Natalie Cole in blue blackness moment. Mano a heartbroken Hucknall. Matthew Dear`s Techno Bowie, but far fewer scary monsters and super creeps. Weeping strings and a sound that could be lifted from an Alan Lomax field recording. Souxsie`s “Happy House” walking the rain soaked cobbles of “The Ballad Of Nicky Mcguire”. Jamie XX minding the late great Gil, through city night and high neon. Something in common with Maxmillion D, but a better comparison would be John Talabot, taking modern House out of the k-hole. Broken Folk. Pop Minimal.

Mano Le Tough on Soundcloud.
